Woman Sentenced to 30 Years for Selling Drugs to Pupils at Prince of Wales School
Justice Josephine F. Hinga delivered the sentence after the accused, Kamara, pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of drugs contrary to Section 8(a) of the National Drugs Control Act, 2008.

According to a Judiciary report, Kamara, a single mother of three who sells chilled water on the school campus, was arrested in June after she was found in possession of 40 grams of Kush, which she had been selling to pupils.

She initially pleaded not guilty at the Magistrate Court, but the matter was later committed to the High Court where she changed her plea.

During mitigation, defence counsel C. Taylor-Young urged the court to consider a minimum sentence, highlighting that Kamara is the primary caregiver of her children and had shown signs of reform during her time at the Correctional Centre.

However, State Prosecutor J. K. Jan Abu argued for a sentence that reflects the seriousness of the offence, stressing the harm caused by drug dealers to Sierra Leone’s youth. Write a similar caption

Breaking news from the Ministry of Education: "It has come to the notice of the offices of MBSSE and TSC that some schools intend to conduct exams earlier than the calendar for protecting teaching and learning. This is unacceptable and against the priorities of the District of Excellence. We want to encourage all that first term exams commence earliest 12th December 2025 to meet end of term. Failure to keep to this will result to administrative actions against defaulters. No compromise or excuse. Be warned.
Kind regards."
